A weekend standalone psychodrama training workshop run by Claire Guy

Whether you are an advanced trainee or a beginner to the Psychodramatic method, you will build your abilities and your experience and practice of the psychodrama method so you can apply your learning in your chosen profession, work, in your community, in your relationships and in play.  This will be achieved through teaching, demonstrations, coaching, practice, and supervised experiential learning of group development and psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, role training.  The group is structured to meet the needs of the different levels of experience of participants.

 

What you’ll experience

Beginner trainees will dip their toes in the water of psychodrama learning through experiencing the method and connecting their experience to the theories of personality development that underpin Psychodrama.

Intermediate and Advanced trainees will identify specific areas noted in their Training Plan and in the Training and Standard Manual that they wish to hone and display in their practice, bringing forward examples of how they are applying the method for discovery and for experimenting with fresh approaches.

  • Professional Development: Learn through supervised experiential learning about the complete range of psychodrama methods and their application
  • Group Leadership: Gain confidence to lead groups and participate in a way that builds each person’s ability to be creative and spontaneous in their lives
  • Dramatic Enactments: Gain hands-on experience in producing compelling dramatic enactments. Participants learn at their current level of development through practicing leadership and directing, taking up auxiliary roles, becoming protagonists and participate in group interactions.
  • Building Connections: Cultivate meaningful relationships with fellow participants.
  • Personal Growth: Dive into transformative personal work of self-discovery and self-awareness to navigate your life’s challenges.

Claire is a Nelson-based Psychodramatist, TEP and registered psychotherapist. She is known for her spontaneity and authenticity. She has learned through 30 years of experience that laughter and a playful spirit assists the digestion of painful memories and almost unbearable circumstances. She supervises many parents, family workers, counsellors and other practitioners who work with children. One client said to her recently, "Coming to see you is like going to a good movie. First of all, I tell you what is going on; then by some miraculous means we have a laugh together; then I have a good cry. I leave feeling much lighter and happier with myself".
